Respected and admired by the world's most sophisticated and discerning whisky drinkers, The Macallan remains the Single Malt against which all others must be judged. This peerless reputation has been built by The Masters of Spirit and Wood, those craftsmen at the heart of The Macallan since it was legally licensed in 1824. Underpinning this mastery are The Macallan's Six Pillars: the unique elements that combine to make The Macallan so special.
